Marionette Lyrics

I wanna cut me free, you want make believe
I'm made of flesh and bone, you wanna take control of me
You wanna dress me up, I wanna feel the sun
You wanna play pretend, I'm not about to bend, you'll see

This is not a game

You want the strings so you can
Pull at my soul and tear me down
You want it all, I'm not your marionette doll
So let me go

I'm taking back the day that you tried to steal from me
I'm gonna make my voice, you'll never get my choice to breathe

This is not a game

You want the strings so you can
Pull in my soul and tear me down
You want it all, I'm not your marionette doll
So let me go

Let me go
So let me go
Let me go

I wanna cut me free
You want make believe

This is not a game

You want the strings so you can
Pull at my soul and tear me down
You want it all, I'm not your marionette doll
So let me go

You want the strings so you can
Pull at my soul and tear me down
You want it all, I'm not your marionette doll
So let me go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
